Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the rock in air, W = 110 N

Since, W = mg

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{110\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}

m = 11.22 kg

We need to find the apparent weight of the rock when it is submerged in water. Apparent weight is equal to the weight of liquid displaced i.e.

M=d\times V

d is the density of water, d=1000\ kg/m^3

V is the volume of rock, V=0.00337\ m^3

M=1000\ kg/m^3\times 0.00337\ m^3

M = 3.37 kg

The apparent weight in water, W = m - M

W=7.85\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2

W = 76.93 N

So, the apparent weight of the rock is 76.93 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

When changing a tire sized 195/75 R15 to a 5 percent lower profile, the correct tire size would be _____
valentinak56 [21]

Answer and explanation:

When you are changing a car tire, the most important thing is to keep the total diameter as equal as possible.

The total car tire diameter can be calculated as:

D_{tot orig}=\frac{195 \cdot 75}{2540 \cdot 2}+15''=26.5''

The profile of this tire is 75 (the higher/taller relation), therefore a 5 percent lower profile would be:

pr=0.95·75=71.25

The problem is that the profiles are normalized and the nearest profile available is 70.

If we take a theorical tire with a profile of 71.25:

D_{tot orig}=D_{new}\\\frac{195 \cdot 75}{2540 \cdot 2}+15''=\frac{X \cdot 71.25}{2540 \cdot 2}+15''\\X=205.26

The theorical tire size should be 205/71 R15.

If we look for a real tire size, we should look for a tire with a diameter nearest to 26.5'' and a profile of 70.

The best option for real tire size is: Tire 225/70 R14 (wheel diameter of 26.4'') or 205/70 R15 (wheel diameter of 26.3'').

If the briefcase hits the water 6.0 s later, what was the speed at which the helicopter was ascending?
vovikov84 [41]

Complete Question

In an action movie, the villain is rescued from the ocean by grabbing onto the ladder hanging from a helicopter. He is so intent on gripping the ladder that he lets go of his briefcase of counterfeit money when he is 130 m above the water. If the briefcase hits the water 6.0 s later, what was the speed at which the helicopter was ascending?

Answer:

The speed of the helicopter is u  =  7.73 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height at which he let go of the brief case is  h =  130 m  

    The  time taken before the the brief case hits the water is  t =  6 s

Generally the initial speed of the  briefcase (Which also the speed of the helicopter )before the man let go of it is  mathematically evaluated using kinematic equation as

      s = h+  u t +  0.5 gt^2

Here s  is the distance covered by the bag at sea level which is zero

      0 = 130+  u * (6) +  0.5  *  (-9.8) * (6)^2

=>    0 = 130+  u * (6) +  0.5  *  (-9.8) * (6)^2

=>   u  =  \frac{-130 +  (0.5 * 9.8 *  6^2) }{6}

=>   u  =  7.73 \  m/s
